  1. When I had this problem the vet put my dog on a course of cortisone...it worked temporarily but the symptoms came back within a couple of days of completing the course. The vet suggested she might just have to stay on cortisone for her whole life but that isn't healthy at all! Maybe it's worth a try but I would use it as a last resort when nothing else works. Hi Arielle, the store I enquired with happened to be a Pets & Gardens store, but they were not familiar with sulphur for pets. My girl has been place on several courses of antibiotics (Rilexin) for memory, and cleared up for a short time only, then came back. She was also given an cortisone injection by the vet yesterday. Will look into msm. Thanks )
  2. The vet probably meant for you to get animal sulphur from a produce store. It's common for it to be put into the food of animals to repel pests. I have used it myself for horses & chooks & know someone who used to give it to their dog. It is also used as a sulphur lick block for cattle to repel ticks in organic farming. Not sure what the difference is, but I think that horticultural sulphur may not be fit for consumption. Thanks Sheena, the actual store I enquired with was a Pets & Gardens store, therefore, I thought that they would be familiar with the product. Will try a produce store and see how that pans out )
  3. Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone has heard of giving sulphur to their dogs (1 teaspoon daily in food) to aid in skin allergies. I have a Malamute Girl, who suffers from itchiness and redness, no matter what I try. Upon visiting the vet yesterday, he advised me to buy some sulphur, add to food daily and also after shampooing to rinse her off with apple cider vinegar and let dry.....Upon enquiring with a garden centre for the sulphur, I was told that it was extremely harmful to dogs .....Vet not contactable till tom, so thought I would put it out there. Thanks.
